Can the chatbot take orders with multiple dishes?

Yes. You upload your menu to the catalog with photo, description, optional modifiers (no onion, extra cheese), and price. The customer builds the order in the conversation, the agent confirms quantities, calculates the total, and sends a summary for confirmation before closing the order.

Does it manage table reservations?

Yes. Auto Asistente knows your hours, capacity per seating, and reservable tables. When a customer requests a reservation, the agent checks availability, asks for party size, time, and name, and confirms by creating the event in Google Calendar.

Does it work if I run a small taqueria without a POS?

Yes. Auto Asistente does not require an integrated POS. The agent receives the order and sends it to the owner's WhatsApp or to the staff chat. When you grow, you can integrate via webhooks.

Can I send the daily menu with a photo every morning?

Yes, starting on the Business plan. Scheduled bulk message at 11 AM with the daily menu (photo + dishes + prices) to recurring opted-in customers. Useful for diners, lunch counters, and restaurants with a rotating menu.

WhatsApp Chatbot for Restaurants

Why WhatsApp is the #1 channel for restaurants

Before the delivery apps, orders came in over the phone. Then they moved to apps with 25-30% commissions. Now, thousands of customers prefer to message the restaurant's WhatsApp directly: no commission for you, no middleman app, and a direct conversation to customize the order. The problem is that this WhatsApp is run by the owner, the server, or nobody — and messages get lost during the rush.

Auto Asistente is the automated operator missing between your customers and the kitchen. It takes the order, sends the menu with photos, calculates the total, manages the reservation, and sends the cook a clear message with exactly what needs to be prepared.

Typical use cases in a restaurant

Delivery order: the customer orders, the agent confirms, calculates the total with a delivery fee per zone, and notifies the kitchen the moment the order comes in.
Table reservation: "Any availability for 6 people on Friday at 9 PM?" The agent checks availability, confirms, creates the event in Google Calendar, and sends a reminder.
Daily menu with a photo: at 11 AM every weekday, a bulk message to recurring opted-in customers.
Catering for a private event: the agent sends event packages and books a call with the owner if customization is needed.
Questions about allergens / vegan / gluten-free: the agent knows which dishes meet which restrictions (configured by you).
Abandoned-cart recovery: a customer started an order and never finished. After 10 minutes the agent asks whether they want to close it out or cancel.

Compared with delivery apps (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub)

These apps charge 20-30% commission per order. Auto Asistente doesn't replace them — it captures the customers who already know your restaurant and prefer to contact you directly, without paying commission. A typical combination:

Delivery apps: first touch + new customers + visibility.
Auto Asistente: retention + direct orders with no commission + reservations + personalized communication.

Restaurants that keep the apps plus WhatsApp with Auto Asistente report 30-50% of orders coming in directly through WhatsApp after 6 months, which means thousands of USD saved every month in commission.

Frequently asked questions

Does it replace a POS like Toast, Square, or NCR?

No. It captures the order via WhatsApp and routes it to your team. If you have a POS, you can integrate via webhooks. For small restaurants without a POS, it works stand-alone.

Does it handle orders in multiple languages?

Yes. It serves customers in English, Spanish, and Portuguese natively. Useful for tourist areas.

Does it work with a rotating menu (diners, lunch counters)?

Yes. Every morning you update the daily menu (5 minutes in the panel or from Google Sheets). The agent sends the updated menu to your recurring customer list.
